Programs
Small business priority - national ace works with all small business communities through our technical assistance program to provide small businesses and entrepreneurs the resources and education they need to be successful. Ace's goal is to help organizations develop effective communications, marketing, and social media by teaching and one-on-one consulting to chambers, non-profit groups, and small businesses who want to transition to digital platforms. Ace also supports business enterprises and chambers of commerce by investing in local communities while working to improve the well-being, economic resilience, and mobility of the small business community.
Conferences and summits - the national ace annual conference brought together entrepreneurs, small business owners, local chambers of commerce from around the country, corporate partners, and community leaders to engage in leadership programming and network building. Participants will discover innovative opportunities for capital building, receive legislative updates, and hear inspiring stories from entrepreneurs in the community. National ace also hosts other events and summits for small business owners for access to capital, investing in small businesses, and staying competitive in a digital world.
Policy - national ace works to empower the small business community by advocating for policies that help entrepreneurs thrive. The organization bridges the gap between small business owners and policymakers through initiatives like capitol hill day, where entrepreneurs and chamber partners meet directly with members of congress and administration officials to ensure their voices help shape federal policy decisions. This year, 62 business leaders from national ace and its partner organizations met with 40 congressional offices. Additionally, national ace conducts policy research to address critical data gaps on issues including small business capital sources and the operational realities of micro-businesses. Our research and advocacy are also informed by small business roundtables hosted across the country. These discussions bring together entrepreneurs, corporate partners, and government leaders to engage in conversations about issues impacting small businesses. These sessions focus on topics ranging from workforce development and access to funding to the adoption of emerging technologies like ai and mental health. National ace actively participates in broader coalition…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $290k to $1.9M (+565%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 38% · 2021 12% · 2023 8% · 2024 25% · 2025 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of ASIAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & ENTREPRENEURSHIP’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
